How to Change Water Filter Cartridges

Over time, water filter cartridges accumulate organic matter via the filtration process which can lead to biofilm development. This accumulation can then impact the performance of your system and affect the quality of your filtered water. Water filter cartridges require regular replacement to ensure ongoing optimal filtration and water quality. How often you will need to replace your water filter will depend on factors such as the frequency of use, the quality of water in your area and the type of filter you have in your system. Below is information on when to replace your water filters and how to change the water filter on your Billi system.

When to Replace Your Water Filter

For our systems, we recommend replacing water filters every 6-12 months to ensure your unit runs optimally and you continue to have optimal drinking water quality. With Billi filtration systems, when you see the flashing amber dispenser icon this indicates that your filter is due to be replaced. If you live in an area that requires a higher level of filtration or your system has high usage, you will need to replace your water filter cartridge more often.

How to Change Water Filter Cartridges

How to change your water filter will vary depending on the type of system you have. For the Sahara, Alpine and Eco systems which are some of our most popular, here are step-by-step instructions on how to change the water filter:

1. 1. Ensure you have the correct replacement filter for your system
2. 2. Remove the system cover (to remove the cover on the Sahara, Alpine & Eco press the buttons on either side of the unit)
3. 3. Press the pressure release switch to release the pressure in the filter
4. 4. Swing the filter towards you and pull it down until it pops out
5. 5. Remove the replacement filter from the box and remove the black cap on the top. Ensure the large label is facing towards you
6. 6. Slide the replacement filter in and swing it back in. Once you hear it click this means it is locked into place
7. 7. Replace the cover. When the system’s lights stop flashing it is ready to use
8. 8. Ensure you dispose of your old cartridge correctly
